My 185gal build in progress (lots of pics)

OH! and I put a bit of spray paint on the fiberglass/grout background. It's starting to look almost real! Now I need to seal the caves with epoxy. I kinda want to get ahold of some of my substrate (whatever it turns out to be in the end) before I do this though, so I can blast some substrate at the half-dry eboxy and have it stick there... so I can get a bit of ontinuity between the substrate and the caves.... but then again, I might just be being a bit anal...
 
I thought those were scratches you were showing us... bummer.

The tank looks awesome even with the scratches. You have done a fantastic job of it.

Q
 
Psh, you can't even tell the scratches! Amazing looking tank :] I would leave wood unstained; loving the accent.
 
There is a recent thread on here about using a headlight glass repair kit.
 
You have done a great job good work :thumbsup:
Just thinking how long will a ply tank last yrs ?
Great thread I read the lot but seem to have over looked the bit about the CNC what was that being done on the CNC ?



Thx

Oh the CNC project was another thing altogether. I was making an MDF mold for a fiberglass part someone I work with is trying to invent. It was fun to do actually, but it ate up a couple weekends!

Looking great.

On putting substrate on the background.... I wouldn't, what if you want to change substrate colors eventually...go to sand or whatever. Just a thought.

You should have used a different material type for the mill. I would have used particle board.

Why? MDF worked out really well. Only drawback was it was really heavy.
